Crawford County Cancer Comfort Bags |
|
Cancer. What does this word mean to you? We have all been affected by this awful disease in one way or another. We know how scary and trying it can be, and no one should have to go through it alone. Thankfully, we live in such a caring and supportive community and we all rally together when one of our own is in need. To help facilitate this, CCHD is starting a new program to get much needed comfort items and resources to recently diagnosed cancer patients in the form of a “Cancer Comfort Bag”. Jasper County Health Department has been doing this for many years with great success and has been kind enough to share their methods with us. This program will be run 100% by donations so we can’t make this happen without your help!!
How it works:
CCHD will collect donations of a variety of items to put together comfort bags for cancer patients. We have put together a list of the specific items needed to fill these bags, donations can be made online or in person.
What items do we need?
Crawford County Residents of any age with a recent cancer diagnosis.
How to request a bag for a cancer patient:
Requests for a comfort bag can be made by the patient themselves or by a friend or family member. Once we get the program up and running we will post further instruction on how to apply for a comfort bag.
We ask that you please share this with your friends and family, especially those who may not see it online. We know as a community we can pull together to bring this project to life and provide support and comfort to those who need it most.
